A fantastic tall gyuto with an exceptional heat treat and high level of hardness, the Shirogami #1 boasts excellent cutting performance and edge retention.

First Impressions

Top notch performance and edge retention with an exceptional heat treat for durability.

Beauty

Much like the Denka, the Shirogami line continues a theme that can sometimes be described as a little "rustic".

Perfection in the looks department is not why you buy a Fujiwara but there's undoubtedly a charm to the wabi-sabi looks and finishing.

In Hand

Fitted with either a traditional octagonal magnolia wa handle or the full tang black pakka wood, your preference for weight and balance point may guide your ultimate personal preference. 

Durability

The Shirogami #1 has been pushed to a high level of 64-65HRC which offers excellent durability and edge retention. 

Ease of Care

This knife is easy enough to care for and sharpen if you follow our carbon steel care tips. For longer term care, we recommend a carbon steel care kit.

Our Verdict

There are a lot of similarities with the iconic Denka range but with the benefit of a slightly easier to maintain Shirogami #1 core and with that, a very competitive price point for some superb, high performance knives from one of Japan's most famous blackmsiths.

Our aim is to measure and photograph our products as accurately as possible but due to many items being handmade, finished or using natural materials, there can be minor variance in measurements and things such as blade or wood finishes can vary. We will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.

Some measurements such as HRC are provided by manufacturers and should therefore be used as a guide.

Protection & care for this knife

Due to the height of this knife, only the large gyuto size (27x5.5cm) blade guard is compatable.
